Flowering time is shifting with climate change. Pollinators may respond differently to changes in temperature and moisture than the flowers they visit, resulting in a timing mismatch between species. In this study, we evaluate the timing of a perennial plant and its main pollinator, a solitary ground-nesting bee. The timing of the bee was recorded at the nesting sites, independent of flowering. We find that the timing for both species is strongly associated with temperature, but that the bee’s nesting time may shift faster with climate change, revealing the potential for a timing mismatch in these species.
